Ninja Foodi Teriyaki Chicken
Make a tasty, frugal meal with these Ninja Foodi Teriyaki Chicken Thighs!
Make an easy and delicious dinner with Ninja Foodi Teriyaki Chicken, using chicken thighs!
Ninja Foodi Chicken Thighs are so good and juicy, even better when marinated in a tasty Teriyaki Sauce!
This recipe was originally featured over on Air Fryer Fanatics, it’s a great choice for a quick meal.
These chicken thighs can be prepared in advance as far as getting the ingredients together and soaking them for several hours before cooking.
Alternatively, they can also be prepared within an hour before cooking to soak too. I have found the longer they soak, the better!
How do you make Gluten-Free Teriyaki Sauce?
The only swap needed to make Gluten-Free Ninja Foodi Teriyaki Chicken Thighs is to use a gluten-free soy sauce or coconut aminos.
Either of these can be used in place of the regular soy sauce.
This is the only swap needed to make these gluten-free, but as always be sure to check all ingredients before making the recipe to be sure they work for your dietary needs.
Tips for Making Ninja Foodi Teriyaki Chicken Thighs:
This recipe will be made using the Air Crisp function of the Ninja Foodi or a basic Air Fryer.
If you prefer you can place these chicken thighs on a sheet of foil in the basket of the Ninja Foodi to avoid as much clean up because it is a sticky sauce so you will have some mess to clean up in the basket after cooking.
In my case, I used these Silicone Air Fryer Mats, they fit perfectly into my Ninja Air Fryer and are easy to clean too. These mats come in a variety of sizes too.
Remember that all air fryers and Ninja Foodi machines heat differently, even a machine from the same company can heat differently than another one, so it is VERY important to watch the chicken closely during the cooking time.
I highly recommend a meat thermometer, this will allow you to be certain they are fully cooked and ready to serve, plus you’ll avoid overcooking too.
I also did these in batches with 4 in each batch to make a total of 8 chicken thighs.
